That is what I envisioned when I made some changes to my times, I guess I will have to change the dates to all my appointments every DST. ](*,)

Re: [DST] Check Your Calendar Appointments!

Mine are unaffected. I have an appointment tomorrow that I set last week, it is still set for the correct time. But that could be because I use Exchange Activesync.

Re: [DST] Check Your Calendar Appointments!

Verizon TP2 stock 6.1 rom.

Problem:
All my appointments are displayed 1 hour LATER than they are set for. If I go in to edit the start & end times, those are correctly set. Just the display times are 1 hour later.

I think the DST problem is with manila. I further inspected my calender appointments and noticed that ONLY the recurring appts. were 1 hour later than they should be.

Solution:
My simple fix is this:
(FYI: I did all of this in the current month on my calender)

-Select the day of a recurring appointment
-Select the appointment itself
-Select "Menu" then "Edit ALL instances" of it
-Change the "Occurs" option to "once"
-Select the "Starts" date
-Change the date to the current month/week, then select the day the appointment usually occurs on (so if your appt. occurs every Tues @ 1:15pm, select the current week's Tuesday).
-Select "ok" to finish editing
-An error message should pop up that reads "We're sorry. A problem has occurred with manila.exe". Send the data to MS, if you want. Or don't send it. Choose "done" after you've made your decision.
-Your screen should now be at your calendar, on the current week, on the day of your recurring appt (that you just changed to occur once).
-Select the appointment itself, and edit it to be recurring.
-Select "Menu" then "Edit"
-Change the "Occurs" option back to "Every..."
-Select "OK" when done.

This seemed to fix it for me. I had to do this for ALL my recurring appointments, but they now display the correct times. Just wanted to share.

Also, my manilla weather won't connect to update now. Every time I try to update it, it says "There was a connection error while attempting to download weather data. Retry?". If I select "yes", the same thing happens again. I've tried restarting my phone and it still didn't work.

I tried installing the cab on page 1, but it did nothing.

EDIT:

So now my manilla weather is working. I don't know what the problem with that was.

-Select "OK" when done.

Same situation for me, except I don't use Manila or anything like that. Just all the appointments are triggering one hour after they are set for. Show up fine in PI, just don't go off as they're supposed to as set.

Any one else have any suggestions?

Re: [DST] Check Your Calendar Appointments!

After hard-resetting and setting up my Exchange sync again, the appointments are correct.

Is it just me, or is it kinda sad that we have to go through so much just to fix something as simple as DST changes?

Re: [DST] Check Your Calendar Appointments!

All my calendar event are now one hour ahead. I don't have any that are all day ones. I am trying to find a way to correct this problems. 2day I had to do a soft reset cuz none of my reminder alarms went off this morning. Any suggestions?

I don't think the hard reset was necessary. I just deleted my exchange server and added it again. When it sync'd, everything matched for on-line calendar and my phone's calendar. It is funny how our 'smart' phone can't deal with something as easy as DST. I was wondering why it said st. patrick's day was Tuesday :)...glad I saw this thread.

Re: [DST] Check Your Calendar Appointments!

This is the closest thing to work for me. Except when I click "done" I don't get the Manila message, rather something along the lines of "all your other events will be deleted". After all the other ones are deleted, I go back to the appointment I just fixed and re-do the original re-occuring pattern I had (i.e. if I had it every Friday, I change "once" back to "every Friday").

I checked the appointments after November and they seem to be okay. I don't know what everyone else is saying about holidays and birthdays being off; they don't even show up on my calendar.

I'm gonna cut off time synchronization and hopefully won't have this problem in the fall....stupid Microsoft.
